Oilite Bearing Bush
An Oilite bearing bush, also known as a self-lubricating bearing, is a type of bearing that is made from porous sintered bronze material impregnated with oil. The term “Oilite” is actually a brand name that has become associated with this type of bearing.
They operate without the need for additional lubrication, and the oil is distributed evenly throughout the bearing, ensuring a continuous supply of lubrication to the moving parts.
